Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Launch, commissioning (instruments fully operational by Feb 25 2026) and the L2 loiter are succeeding cleanly and both spacecraft are healthy, but ESCAPADE's actual value (Mars atmospheric-escape science) is locked behind a ~2-year cruise and a 2027 insertion — there is no observed science outcome to adopt against yet.
- Next
- Track the November 2026 Earth-flyby / trans-Mars-injection burn and the September 2027 Mars orbit insertion; reassess science readiness only after MOI and first magnetosphere/atmospheric-escape data.
